We're in Sydney!

It's been a loooooooooooong time since the last blog entry, mainly because Mummy had no wireless at Kau Fu Tummy's home and now that we are back at PoPo's place, she has finally mixed the WiFi, other than that we/she had been busy shopping and socialising.

Since we've been back Mika kept repeating every hour 'I'm in Australia'. We think it's because she likes it here. We all too like it here but we miss Daddy a lot... Mika is talking a lot more now and she loves sucking up to Gong Gong and Tai Gong.

Here are some of the things we had been doing:

At the airport on our way to Sydney. I remembered this airplane thing at the food court so we had to go there just to take a photo before we board the plane

In the plane with much anticipation

Mummy feels 10 years older.... but we actually behaved really well on the plane

We greeted Tai Gong immediately upon arrival. We miss him so much since he didn't go to Hong Kong this year

Mika being sweet and vulnerable and asked PoPo and Gong Gong to kiss her 'broken finger', which is the longterm blister from sucking her thumb

Of course we had to play the rocking machine, which was HK$20 per ride

We had to stay at Kau Fu Tummy, Kau Mo Chu Chu and Isaac's place for 5 nights since PoPo had relatives from China to stay with her. We feel very much welcomed at Kau Fu's place where we had our personalised wash cups

Collecting shells on the beach right outside Kau Fu's backyard

and took pictures outside his neighbour's back door

Pretending to be a mermaid on the rock

Isaac's playroom is like a play centre

This is something we can never do in Hong Kong-hiding behind the clothes and knocking them down without getting scolded at by the shop assistants

We attending the weekly story telling session at the library

and did craft that were related to the story theme- animals at the barn

Mika's colouring

We went to an indoor play gym and I made a friend called Charice

We sneaked inside the party room and took photos on the throne

We rode together

Sharing my ice-cream with Mika

I again rode on the ride. It's The Wiggles this time. Mika will be so upset if she finds out what she missed out on.. The Wiggles is her favourite at the moment

We played sparkles

Gong Gong and I played bubbles together

I like to help Mika putting on her shoes and she loves me helping her too (see video)

Really very co-operative in terms on what position I need her to be in

To the library again

Each library has their own character. This library has bean bags and a 'hand chair' that spins

After that we went for a picnic and tried to feed the ducks, but they weren't interested in our food...

Sitting under the big tree enjoying my sausage

Mummy and her babies

Going to the park didn't stop Mika from searching Mummy's bag for goodies

Picking nice flowers

Mika got into trouble when she spilled the bag of chips on the the carpet. Look at her face.. (see video)

a closer look at the guilty face

We went to Bills for their famous pancake. Mika wouldn't leave my babycino alone

It was a ricotta hotcake with butterscotch butter. We also had coconut bread which were very yummy

Reflection of me smiling on the spoon

Straight after Bills we went to a famous Thai restaurant Spice-I-am. We ate our breakfast and lunch within a 5 minute car ride since Mummy didn't want to go on separate occasions. After all it was a 30 mins drive

MM... what should we eat

We had spring rolls, chicken noodle and beef basil stir-fry. Mummy thinks this restaurant is way over rated.

...and more fun things to come!

Letter to myself

One evening Mummy was posting some letters and I asked Mummy if I can have one of the stickers she was sticking on the envelope. Mummy told me those are not stickers but stamps for the postman to post the letters for us. Mummy wanted me to understand the concept so she asked me to write something to myself and put it in the envelope so I can post it to myself.

Mummy asked me to write our address on the envelope and I also putted the stamp on it

Posted it in Wanchai Oi Kwan Road post box

And look what we got in the mail box today!

Mummy is very proud of me (and the postman for being able to send it back to me!). And I have no idea why I spent my name this way!!

Biscuit fun

One of the activities in the summer holidays activity book from school was to be creative with biscuits, so here I was making being creative with them!

First creation: Sun

Second creation: Teddy bear

Of cos Mika gets to eat the cute bear too! She went for the eyes and mouth and ears first

She watches while I made the next animal

Rabbit version 1

Rabbit version 2, with wings

Last one cos I got too full eating all these biscuits: Nunu!! (our turtle)

Disneyland!

Last Wednesday Daddy took a day off to go to Disneyland with us! How lucky are we! But it was soooooooooooooooo hot and because it was during the China 'Golden Week', there are many mainlanders visiting the dreamland so there were many people! Nevertheless Mika and I were super duper happy!

Extreme hot weather warning was issued that day

At the beginning of the fun journey Mummy found us sitting so patiently for her to return from the bathroom

The special parade invited the children to join in and do some dancing together. I used the long ribbon to do ribbon dance

After the parade has finished Mika still sat there refused to leave, in hope that the parade will continue

Since it was so hot no one really wanted to walk, and Mummy thought it was too hot for her to carry Mika all the time, so Mika was stacked on top of me for a long time, like 10 seconds

We loved 'Small World' cos it was well air-conditioned inside and also the little displays were so cute! Mummy and Daddy were extra happy because when we decided to go for a second round, Mummy asked the workers there if we needed to line up again, and they said no and let us through a special passage that only took us less than 3 minutes before we got onto the next ride again!! What's even better was that we even got stickers while we were waiting! Thanks to Mika who asked the Gor Gor for stickers

And of course I will not miss my chance in taking photos with the Princesses, especially with my favourite Princess Rapunzel! Well Mika wasn't in the mood to take photos with her. I was so happy that we chatted with each other for about 5 minutes!

This time we have Princess charming too!! Mika again refused to take photo with them

Cooling down in gift shop = spending $$ for Mummy and Daddy

I am an expert in posing. See the way I smile and twist so naturally?

I think Mika still have a looooooooong way to learn.....

We enjoyed our ice-cream a lot, while Daddy was watching with frustration because Mika was dripping melted ice cream on the pram

It was Mika's idea to wait for Duffy Bear but she again refused to take photo with it

Mika comforting me from the scary 'Space Mountain' ride

This is more for children! Our all time favourite-Cinderella Carousel

Gong Gong + PoPo in town!

We are so happy to have Gong Gong and PoPo in town, finally! We are missing Tai Gong this time but we are sure he is having lots of fun with our baby cousin Isaac in Sydney! Plus we will see him when we are back in Sydney soon! Mika seems to have a stronger preference for Gong Gong since she was young and I love both Gong Gong and PoPo! We love the presents we got from them too!

Gong Gong and PoPo joins Mika at Baby Buddies the day after they arrived

Gong Gong reading to us

Mika shows her affection to Gong Gong

And Gong Gong enjoys it undoubtedly!
